SECTION II: SUGGESTED TIME SCHEDULE

Based on your performance, we have come up with a time schedule. By following this time schedule, you canensure that you will continue to maintain your strong modules, while improve substantially in those that arelacking.

The pie chart below, tells you about how much time you should ideally be spending on different modules. Alwaysremember, it is required to spend a fixed amount of time on all modules even though you might be strong inthem. Perfection is said to come from continuous practice.

And for the modules in which you might be lagging a bit, there is always time for improvement. So just put yourchin down and start working on them from today. It has to start somewhere, it has to start sometime. What betterplace than here, what better time than now?

We also provide you a time split for each section in the module. Based on your performance, we automaticallyadjust times so that you spend more time on weak sub-sections in a module and less in others. This is contraryto what students generally do! They keep doing questions which they are able to solve and do not attempt thosewhich they find tough. To improve your weak areas, you just need to do the opposite. Spend more time preparingfor weak areas, even if it takes more time to learn and practice it.

We hope that your performance analysis has helped you understand your strengths and weaknesses. Let us nowunderstand what your next steps should be.
